And yes, Texas Y fares help. For $150 more am flying today to OKC in Y which will put me over for Platinum when I return tomorrow.

I usually make it to platinum with points and not miles. Some years I make the miles as well, but points always get there first.
Segment runs have become harder, I find that there are a number of trips that I can take during the year where the difference between a 1 point and a 2 point trip is minimal cost though.

I am curious if there are other OnePass flyers who actively avoid flying DL because there is no way to earn segment points on them. DL, CO, and NW all compete on the routes I fly and CO is often more expensive than the other two. I spend the extra money because of the segments awarded, and quite often the more expensive price (H or Y fares) I am paying qualifies for double segments.
I know that, at least in theory, segment points can be earned on NW for OnePass elite qualification, but I'm too lazy/dumb to figure which fares are/aren't eligible. I never consider DL because they don't offer segment credit at all, and I am a million-miler and a former Flying Colonel. However, I don't get the impression they particularly miss me.
